Northwoods Knives are built upon a knifemaking heritage in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the small town of Gladstone. Steeped in tradition Northwoods Knives were conceived with the desire to manufacture a high quality knives right here in the USA at an affordable price. Northwoods Knives start out with a quality steel blade (typically a high carbon steel the way knives were made when they took an edge easily and held it). The blade is then dressed with the highest quality bone handle materials such as sambar stag, exotic burl woods, jigged bone, buffalo horn, and even mammoth ivory! If you are looking for a great bone handle pocket knife for yourself or to present to that special someone, look no further than a Northwoods knife.
